Ah ok. That make more sense. I find the US distribution of wealth vastly more inégal than Europe but that was not your point, sorry.
Absolutely, a diploma is needed and self starters are view with skepticism.
France is extreme with that for instance. Banks will lend you money to starts a specific business only if you have a related diploma ( hair dresser, butcher, boulanger … )
I mean; they won’t flat out refuse if you dont. But passing thought those trade schools will open doors.
I was just talking it with a friend very qualified in education in both the US and France.
He’s a certify teacher with experience in both countries.
He’s starting a business of teaching music exclusively. He has like 8 years of relevant experiences doing that.
France is still asking him to do a 2 years training if he want to access the government contracts of public schools.
And that’s in a context of teacher scarcity.
Silver lining, the training will cost like $1000/year but that borderline insulting to have him do that and I find the 2 years timeline insane.
So, yeah, long story short crendentism indeed.
I think it was coming from a good place originally. But at this point it’s silly.
